The Apprentice - 12\1
Did I miss something? The whole episode Alla was helpful.. the other chick blew it was trying to fill both roles, etc... .. in the boardroom, Ala barely said anything... yet she was called out as being loud and hard to work with.

Wasn't Alla/Alma the apprentice candidate who early in the season there was a news story about her being a former stripper who was being stalked and ended up caught up in a murder investigation or something? It made it sound like she had some Russian mafia connections in Vegas.
Does anyone remember this story?
If it was her, I suspect that her shady history had a bit more to do with her getting the boot.
It really makes no sense for the goodlooking gimp girl to still even be in at this point. She's coasted on Randal's coattails most of the season and stayed below the radar for the rest. I think the only reason she is still there is because Trump is obviously a sucker for a pretty face and if she could assume a vaguely Eastern European accent Trump would marry her.
Good to see a black dude is finally gonna end up winning this thing after so many black chick candidates have come off as nutjobs on this show, but this season has definitely been boring! They need to do more than move this show to LA to pump some life into things.

wow, so it WAS her.
I see you're in Vegas, do you know where she was stripping? It wasn't Cheetahs was it? Im assuming this was 5 to 10 years earlier when she must have been in her prime. Not that she's bad looking now, but I can't see her working any of the big name places and you can tell from her attitude she would have settled for nothing less.
Did you ever happen to see her while she was stripping? I can't imagine what her kind of drive would bring to a strip performance. Alla would have beat Nomi Malone's ass into the ground!

Not only that, it was a "big" news story on the local NBC station when The Apprentice debuted this season. That link above pretty much explains the entire story.
And sadly, I did not see her strip, as I would've been only ten at the time of said incident (I believe it took place in 1995).

I think after this season, I will be done with this show. Trump is just indiscriminately firing multiple people in the same episode to try to add buzz to the show.
I loved the losing team's video- what was that, about 8 sentences on the screen for 3 seconds?

Just got to this from "Tivo." Laughed when Alla/Alma tried to manipulate what's her name into backing out of her statement that Alla came up with the frantic text-based design. She KNEW it was her idea, but figured the 'nice girl" might back down if she got all chummy and said "nooo...you can't be like that.. gosssshhh.." Glad ta see it didn't work, but crying in the boardroom was a big mistake as well.
So...with so many mass firings, the season must be shorter, right? Was this for ratings possibly? NBC wanted to speed it up a bit? I mean...it was completed I assume before they knew Martha's show was failing. I dunno...
And for those who skip/edit commercials, the actual MS LiveMtg ad was included after the judging. Very open feeling, which I liked. Both of the teams had claustrophobic spots that seemed cluttered. But of course, I didn't expect them to match MS's ad staff.

When did Trump get all Michael Corleone?
This final two is a tough one - I'm rooting for both. I think it'll come down to a teammate blowing a task to determine the winner.

I was thinking the same thing on her reaction to him showing up. Even when they were talking, it looked like two high school kids sitting on a bench on a first date just real akward like she didn't want america thinking she was seeing someone.
